Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment of Depression Disorder
Depression is a mental disorder that has both social and health effects to individuals worldwide. Reports from the WHO suggest that depressive disorders form a significant percentage of the total number of deaths reported in both developed and developing countries. Depressive disorders are also a major cause of disability (U.S. Department of Health, 2017). Depression is treatable. The commonly used treatments of depression include psychotherapy and drugs. Studies suggest that there are various effective strategies available for use to improve the depression symptoms such as the integration between specialist and primary health care. The severity of depression varies from patient to patient. DSM-5 is the commonly used diagnostic criteria used to differentiate depressive disorders from sadness (Gore & Widiger, 2013). The criterion was developed in the United States and has been used extensively in psychiatric research. The model stipulates the threshold that the signs and symptoms of depression must meet to justify a diagnosis. This research analyzes Eliza Doolittle’s psychosocial assessment and treatment plan.
Intake
Eliza Doolittle is an eighteen years old girl. Her residence at the time of the visit was a school dormitory where she lived with her friends. Eliza stated the reason for her visit was due to being sent home from school. The depressive symptoms that Eliza experienced were anxiety or stress and low self-esteem. Eliza is the only child in her family. Her father is Burt, and her mothers name is Joan. She denied being on any medication for mental health at this time. She also added that she had not encountered any stressful experiences in her life.
Eliza completed the DSM-5 Self-Rated Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure (CCM-1) for adults, which is a questionnaire with the various depressive symptoms. This questionnaire enables the healthcare professional to identify the depressive symptoms that Eliza might have had in the last two weeks before her visit. According to the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, Eliza must have experienced at least five symptoms of depression in the same two weeks period. Eliza must have at least one of the following symptoms to warrant a diagnosis. These include: loss of pleasure in usual activities, loss of self-worth or suicidal, fatigue, weight loss, tiredness, inability to think correctly, loss of energy and loss of appetite.
Biopsychosocial Assessment
Eliza was identified as a Caucasian female who was a first-year college student studying engineering. Eliza’s parents live in a town, which is about two hours away from the health center. Eliza was sent to counseling because she was found with alcohol in the dormitory although she claimed she w ...

1. Social Work Research: Couples Counseling
Kathleen is a 37-year-old, Caucasian female of Irish descent, and her partner, Lisa, is a 38-year-old, Caucasian female with a Hungarian ethnic background. Kathleen reports that she has a long family history of substance use but has never used alcohol or drugs herself. She does not have a criminal history and utilized counseling services 10 years ago for family issues regarding her father’s alcohol use. Kathleen works as a nurse in a local hospital on the cardiac floor where she has been employed for 8 years.
Lisa reports experimenting with substances during college. She currently drinks wine on occasion. Lisa does not have a criminal history. Lisa has had many jobs and stated that she was unable to find her niche until recently when she took out a loan and opened a small Hungarian restaurant serving her grandmother’s recipes. Her restaurant has been open 1 year. Lisa reports that while she enjoys the work and has found her niche, she must work constantly to be successful, and she is worried the business might fail.
Kathleen and Lisa have been together for over 15 years. They have a close group of friends and see their families on major holidays. They came to outpatient counseling at a nonprofit agency to examine the possibility of starting a family together. They were both feeling ambivalent about it, and it had been the source of more than a few arguments, so they decided to come to counseling to address their concerns in a more productive way. They said they chose this agency because it was recognized as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) friendly. They asked about my sexual orientation and my history because they were concerned about my level of experience working with the issues they were presenting.
I thanked Kathleen and Lisa for sharing this concern, and I informed them of various programs I had worked in within the agency, including supportive services for LGBT youth in schools and in the community. I also shared our agency philosophy and mission, which includes outcome measures and engaging clients in feedback to evaluate practice.
I explained the tools we used to measure outcomes. The first form measures how each of them are feeling with regard to their life and current circumstances. There are four different scales to measure aspects of their lives, such as social, family, emotional health, etc. I also provided the chart on which I score the scales and track progress. I explained that the purpose was to see where they began to demonstrate progress with the work we were doing.
The second form measures how well I am providing treatment. I demonstrated the four scales that measure if the client feels heard and understood and if we addressed in session what they wanted to. I explained that this should address their concern about my ability to assist them. Because we would be evaluating both how they felt and how the sessions were going each week, we could make adjustments on.

Eliza’s Modified Treatment Plan
PCN 610
Date: August 25, 2019
Eliza’s Modified Treatment Plan
Eliza Doolittle is a Caucasian girl aged eighteen years, and a first-year student in college. Both of her parents live in a nearby town. In her initial visit, Eliza had been sent to see a counselor by the school because she was found in possession of alcoholic drinks in her the school dormitory. In the initial assessment, Eliza demonstrated depressive symptoms such as anxiety and low self-esteem. Although she denied she was intoxicated at the time, she said she had previously abused alcohol in high school. After joining college, she stated that she struggled to make new friends after parting ways with her high school friends who went to different schools. She denied having any traumatic experiences, although she stated both her high school and college friends took advantage of her on several occasions.
Changes in Eliza’s Behavior
In the second visit, Eliza has been brought to the health facility because she was found passed out and smelling alcohol. When questioned by the physician what had happened, she admitted that she had lied in her initial assessment of her drinking behavior. She admits that she has a problem with drinking. Eliza states that she often drinks to raise her level of self-esteem, gain confidence, and overcome from the strained relation of her parents. Eliza stated that she drinks about five times a week and also when she gets an opportunity to. She added that she lied in her previous visit because she feared being suspended from school due to abuse of alcohol in the school premises.
Effectiveness and Validity of the Treatment Plan
In the initial treatment, Eliza was diagnosed with mild depression because the major depressive symptoms presented were anxiety and loss of interest in normal activities. However, she had demonstrated other symptoms such as slight sleeping problems, little enjoyment of social activities, and lack of identity. The physician recommended that the symptoms could go away on their own without any treatment. However, the physician stated that Eliza should undergo cognitive behavioral therapy.
The treatment plan is still valid after the new developments in his behavior, but it would be necessary for Eliza to be referred to a psychiatrist to confirm whether she held come more information about her behavior. According to Regier et al. (2013), the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for depression states that alcohol abuse should not be a reason for diagnosing depression. Therefore, the physician can rule out alcohol abuse as a cause of depression, but alcohol abuse can be a sign of depression. According to Regier et al. (2013), most depression patients often engage in alcohol abuse.
Treatment Changes
The initial treatment that was prescribed to Eliza needs to be adjusted to address the new situation. According to Eliza’s previous diagnosis, the physician recommended that.
Case Study Olivia Jacobs, a 22 year old graduate student iMaximaSheffield592
Case Study*
“Olivia Jacobs, a 22 year old graduate student in architecture, was referred for an urgent psychiatric consultation after she told her roommate that she was suicidal. Ms. Jacobs had a history of mood symptoms that had been under good control with lithium and sertraline, but her depressive symptoms had returned soon after she had arrived in a new city for school, 3 months earlier. She had become preoccupied with ways in which she might kill herself without inconveniencing others. Her dominant suicidal thoughts involved shooting herself in the head while leaning out the window, so as not to cause a mess in the dorm. Although she did not have access to a gun, she spent time searching the Web for places where she might purchase one.
Ms. Jacobs’s psychiatric history began at age 15, when the began to regularly drink alcohol and smoke marijuana, usually when out a t dance clubs with friends. Both of these substances calmed her, and she denied that either had become problematic. She had used neither alcohol nor marijuana since starting graduate school.
Around age 17, she began experiencing brief, intensive depressive episodes, marked by tearfulness, feelings of guilt, anhedonia, hopelessness, low energy, and poor concentration. She would sleep more than 12 hours a day and neglect responsibilities at school and home.
These depressive episodes would generally shift after a few weeks into periods of increased energy, pressured speech, and unusual creativity. She would stay up most of the night working on projects and building architectural models. These revved-up episodes lasted about 5 days and were punctuated by feelings that her friends had turned against herald that there were not really friends at all. Worried especially about the paranoia, her family brought her to a psychiatrist, who diagnosed her as having bipolar II disorder and prescribed lithium and sertraline. Although Ms. Jacobs’s moods did not completely stabilize on this regimen, she did well enough at a local university to be accepted into a prestigious program far from home. At that point the depression returned, and she became intensely suicidal for the first time.
Upon evaluation, the patient was visibly depressed and tearful, and had psychomotor slowing. She said it was very difficult to get out of bed and she was not attending class most days. She reported hopelessness, poor concentration, and guilt about spending family money for school when she was not able to perform. She stated that she thought about suicide most of the time and that she had found nothing to distract her. She denied recent drinking or smoking marijuana, stating she did to feel like “partying.” She acknowledged profound feelings of emptiness, and indicated that she had occasionally cut her arms superficially to “see what it would feel like.” She stated that she knew that cutting herself this way would not kill her. She reported depersonalization and occasional panic attacks ...

Both eating disorders and somatic symptom disorders involve a mi.docxjackiewalcutt
Both eating disorders and somatic symptom disorders involve a mind-body relationship. However, those living with somatic disorders tend to be highly sensitized to their body experiences in a different way than those with eating disorders. While eating disorders can cause individuals to lose their interoceptive awareness of the body, those with somatic disorders tend to have a magnified awareness, often coupled with preoccupation and a high level of anxiety that is deemed to be excessive to the cause.
These spectrums of illness require that social workers take an early-intervention, multidisciplinary, and biopsychosocial approach to treatment to be successful in supporting recovery. Both require knowledge and extensive communication with medical providers and other specialists. That priority for interdisciplinary knowledge and teamwork increases in importance given the mortality rates of eating disorders and the mind-body factors in both.
This week you analyze the impact of living with an eating disorder and the problems (nutritional, medical, social, and psychological) in the recovery process. You also consider current societal influences that impact the onset, recognition, and recovery process for eating disorders and somatic symptom disorders.
Through this week’s Learning Resources, you become aware not only of the prevalence of factors involved in the treatment of eating disorders, but also the societal, medical, and cultural influences that help individuals develop and sustain the unhealthy behaviors related to an eating disorder. These behaviors have drastic impacts on health. In clinical practice, social workers need to know about the resources available to clients living with an eating disorder and be comfortable developing interdisciplinary, individualized treatment plans for recovery that incorporate medical and other specialists.
For this Discussion, you focus on guiding clients through treatment and recovery.
To prepare:
Review the Learning Resources on experiences of living with an eating disorder, as well as social and cultural influences on the disorder.

nit 3 Case Studies Laura Laura is a 55-year-old Latina who is a for.docxmigdalialyle
nit 3 Case Studies Laura Laura is a 55-year-old Latina who is a former nurse. She has been married for 35 years to Raymond, who is 63. Raymond, who is also Latino, is a practicing physician who is nearing retirement. Laura met Raymond at a hospital when both were in training for their medical careers. They dated for less than a year and married when Laura was 20 years old. She continued to work as a nurse after graduation until their first child, a daughter, was born and Laura and Raymond agreed she should stay home to care for their child. Their son was born two years later. Laura did not return to her career as a nurse, and remained a homemaker and stay-at-home mother. Throughout the years, Laura and Raymond frequently socialized with other couples, although Laura did not form individual friendships with other women, stating she “just isn’t comfortable” with most women. Laura was an avid reader and an artist, and tended to enjoy quiet, solitary pursuits rather than joining group activities, so she resisted Raymond’s suggestions that she join women’s philanthropic groups or participate in volunteer activities. Laura and Raymond spent weekends with their children when Raymond was not working, and they always took family summer vacations and spent time on family activities. Laura’s parents live nearby and were very involved in the family activities as well. Laura is an only child. The family always considered themselves to be closely knit. Laura is in generally good health. Although she smoked cigarettes for 30 years, she quit seven years ago. She consumes alcohol daily and does not take any regular medications. She is sedentary and has gained 30 pounds over the past 15 years. Raymond does not smoke but he joins Laura in a nightly cocktail after work. He does not formally exercise but is on his feet most of the day at work. His weight is the same as it was when he was 25 years old. Raymond had prostate cancer five years ago; surgery and radiation treatments seem to have cured his cancer. Laura’s children are now adults. Both completed college, found successful careers, and married. Laura’s daughter has recently given birth to her first child, a son. In the past year, Laura has started to worry about her loved ones’ safety and well-being. She frequently becomes preoccupied with thoughts of injury or illness that could harm Raymond, her daughter or son, and now her infant grandson. Laura is unable to calm these fears or put them out of her mind. She often has trouble falling asleep because she “can’t shut down” her mind, and she wakes up in the middle of the night fearing something has happened to one of her loved ones. She is often fatigued during the day and is notably irritable. Lately, Laura has been calling her husband, daughter, and son several times a day, including when they are at work and cannot take her calls. She implores them to “be safe.” She has asked them not to drive or participate in social activities because they might ha ...

1. Social Work Research: Couples Counseling
Kathleen is a 37-year-old, Caucasian female of Irish descent, and her partner, Lisa, is a 38-year-old, Caucasian female with a Hungarian ethnic background. Kathleen reports that she has a long family history of substance use but has never used alcohol or drugs herself. She does not have a criminal history and utilized counseling services 10 years ago for family issues regarding her father’s alcohol use. Kathleen works as a nurse in a local hospital on the cardiac floor where she has been employed for 8 years.
Lisa reports experimenting with substances during college. She currently drinks wine on occasion. Lisa does not have a criminal history. Lisa has had many jobs and stated that she was unable to find her niche until recently when she took out a loan and opened a small Hungarian restaurant serving her grandmother’s recipes. Her restaurant has been open 1 year. Lisa reports that while she enjoys the work and has found her niche, she must work constantly to be successful, and she is worried the business might fail.
Kathleen and Lisa have been together for over 15 years. They have a close group of friends and see their families on major holidays. They came to outpatient counseling at a nonprofit agency to examine the possibility of starting a family together. They were both feeling ambivalent about it, and it had been the source of more than a few arguments, so they decided to come to counseling to address their concerns in a more productive way. They said they chose this agency because it was recognized as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) friendly. They asked about my sexual orientation and my history because they were concerned about my level of experience working with the issues they were presenting.
I thanked Kathleen and Lisa for sharing this concern, and I informed them of various programs I had worked in within the agency, including supportive services for LGBT youth in schools and in the community. I also shared our agency philosophy and mission, which includes outcome measures and engaging clients in feedback to evaluate practice.
I explained the tools we used to measure outcomes. The first form measures how each of them are feeling with regard to their life and current circumstances. There are four different scales to measure aspects of their lives, such as social, family, emotional health, etc. I also provided the chart on which I score the scales and track progress. I explained that the purpose was to see where they began to demonstrate progress with the work we were doing.
The second form measures how well I am providing treatment. I demonstrated the four scales that measure if the client feels heard and understood and if we addressed in session what they wanted to. I explained that this should address their concern about my ability to assist them. Because we would be evaluating both how they felt and how the sessions were going each week, we could make adjustments on.

Eliza’s Modified Treatment Plan
PCN 610
Date: August 25, 2019
Eliza’s Modified Treatment Plan
Eliza Doolittle is a Caucasian girl aged eighteen years, and a first-year student in college. Both of her parents live in a nearby town. In her initial visit, Eliza had been sent to see a counselor by the school because she was found in possession of alcoholic drinks in her the school dormitory. In the initial assessment, Eliza demonstrated depressive symptoms such as anxiety and low self-esteem. Although she denied she was intoxicated at the time, she said she had previously abused alcohol in high school. After joining college, she stated that she struggled to make new friends after parting ways with her high school friends who went to different schools. She denied having any traumatic experiences, although she stated both her high school and college friends took advantage of her on several occasions.
Changes in Eliza’s Behavior
In the second visit, Eliza has been brought to the health facility because she was found passed out and smelling alcohol. When questioned by the physician what had happened, she admitted that she had lied in her initial assessment of her drinking behavior. She admits that she has a problem with drinking. Eliza states that she often drinks to raise her level of self-esteem, gain confidence, and overcome from the strained relation of her parents. Eliza stated that she drinks about five times a week and also when she gets an opportunity to. She added that she lied in her previous visit because she feared being suspended from school due to abuse of alcohol in the school premises.
Effectiveness and Validity of the Treatment Plan
In the initial treatment, Eliza was diagnosed with mild depression because the major depressive symptoms presented were anxiety and loss of interest in normal activities. However, she had demonstrated other symptoms such as slight sleeping problems, little enjoyment of social activities, and lack of identity. The physician recommended that the symptoms could go away on their own without any treatment. However, the physician stated that Eliza should undergo cognitive behavioral therapy.
The treatment plan is still valid after the new developments in his behavior, but it would be necessary for Eliza to be referred to a psychiatrist to confirm whether she held come more information about her behavior. According to Regier et al. (2013), the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for depression states that alcohol abuse should not be a reason for diagnosing depression. Therefore, the physician can rule out alcohol abuse as a cause of depression, but alcohol abuse can be a sign of depression. According to Regier et al. (2013), most depression patients often engage in alcohol abuse.
Treatment Changes
The initial treatment that was prescribed to Eliza needs to be adjusted to address the new situation. According to Eliza’s previous diagnosis, the physician recommended that.
Case Study Olivia Jacobs, a 22 year old graduate student iMaximaSheffield592
Case Study*
“Olivia Jacobs, a 22 year old graduate student in architecture, was referred for an urgent psychiatric consultation after she told her roommate that she was suicidal. Ms. Jacobs had a history of mood symptoms that had been under good control with lithium and sertraline, but her depressive symptoms had returned soon after she had arrived in a new city for school, 3 months earlier. She had become preoccupied with ways in which she might kill herself without inconveniencing others. Her dominant suicidal thoughts involved shooting herself in the head while leaning out the window, so as not to cause a mess in the dorm. Although she did not have access to a gun, she spent time searching the Web for places where she might purchase one.
Ms. Jacobs’s psychiatric history began at age 15, when the began to regularly drink alcohol and smoke marijuana, usually when out a t dance clubs with friends. Both of these substances calmed her, and she denied that either had become problematic. She had used neither alcohol nor marijuana since starting graduate school.
Around age 17, she began experiencing brief, intensive depressive episodes, marked by tearfulness, feelings of guilt, anhedonia, hopelessness, low energy, and poor concentration. She would sleep more than 12 hours a day and neglect responsibilities at school and home.
These depressive episodes would generally shift after a few weeks into periods of increased energy, pressured speech, and unusual creativity. She would stay up most of the night working on projects and building architectural models. These revved-up episodes lasted about 5 days and were punctuated by feelings that her friends had turned against herald that there were not really friends at all. Worried especially about the paranoia, her family brought her to a psychiatrist, who diagnosed her as having bipolar II disorder and prescribed lithium and sertraline. Although Ms. Jacobs’s moods did not completely stabilize on this regimen, she did well enough at a local university to be accepted into a prestigious program far from home. At that point the depression returned, and she became intensely suicidal for the first time.
Upon evaluation, the patient was visibly depressed and tearful, and had psychomotor slowing. She said it was very difficult to get out of bed and she was not attending class most days. She reported hopelessness, poor concentration, and guilt about spending family money for school when she was not able to perform. She stated that she thought about suicide most of the time and that she had found nothing to distract her. She denied recent drinking or smoking marijuana, stating she did to feel like “partying.” She acknowledged profound feelings of emptiness, and indicated that she had occasionally cut her arms superficially to “see what it would feel like.” She stated that she knew that cutting herself this way would not kill her. She reported depersonalization and occasional panic attacks ...

Both eating disorders and somatic symptom disorders involve a mi.docxjackiewalcutt
Both eating disorders and somatic symptom disorders involve a mind-body relationship. However, those living with somatic disorders tend to be highly sensitized to their body experiences in a different way than those with eating disorders. While eating disorders can cause individuals to lose their interoceptive awareness of the body, those with somatic disorders tend to have a magnified awareness, often coupled with preoccupation and a high level of anxiety that is deemed to be excessive to the cause.
These spectrums of illness require that social workers take an early-intervention, multidisciplinary, and biopsychosocial approach to treatment to be successful in supporting recovery. Both require knowledge and extensive communication with medical providers and other specialists. That priority for interdisciplinary knowledge and teamwork increases in importance given the mortality rates of eating disorders and the mind-body factors in both.
This week you analyze the impact of living with an eating disorder and the problems (nutritional, medical, social, and psychological) in the recovery process. You also consider current societal influences that impact the onset, recognition, and recovery process for eating disorders and somatic symptom disorders.
Through this week’s Learning Resources, you become aware not only of the prevalence of factors involved in the treatment of eating disorders, but also the societal, medical, and cultural influences that help individuals develop and sustain the unhealthy behaviors related to an eating disorder. These behaviors have drastic impacts on health. In clinical practice, social workers need to know about the resources available to clients living with an eating disorder and be comfortable developing interdisciplinary, individualized treatment plans for recovery that incorporate medical and other specialists.
For this Discussion, you focus on guiding clients through treatment and recovery.
To prepare:
Review the Learning Resources on experiences of living with an eating disorder, as well as social and cultural influences on the disorder.

nit 3 Case Studies Laura Laura is a 55-year-old Latina who is a for.docxmigdalialyle
nit 3 Case Studies Laura Laura is a 55-year-old Latina who is a former nurse. She has been married for 35 years to Raymond, who is 63. Raymond, who is also Latino, is a practicing physician who is nearing retirement. Laura met Raymond at a hospital when both were in training for their medical careers. They dated for less than a year and married when Laura was 20 years old. She continued to work as a nurse after graduation until their first child, a daughter, was born and Laura and Raymond agreed she should stay home to care for their child. Their son was born two years later. Laura did not return to her career as a nurse, and remained a homemaker and stay-at-home mother. Throughout the years, Laura and Raymond frequently socialized with other couples, although Laura did not form individual friendships with other women, stating she “just isn’t comfortable” with most women. Laura was an avid reader and an artist, and tended to enjoy quiet, solitary pursuits rather than joining group activities, so she resisted Raymond’s suggestions that she join women’s philanthropic groups or participate in volunteer activities. Laura and Raymond spent weekends with their children when Raymond was not working, and they always took family summer vacations and spent time on family activities. Laura’s parents live nearby and were very involved in the family activities as well. Laura is an only child. The family always considered themselves to be closely knit. Laura is in generally good health. Although she smoked cigarettes for 30 years, she quit seven years ago. She consumes alcohol daily and does not take any regular medications. She is sedentary and has gained 30 pounds over the past 15 years. Raymond does not smoke but he joins Laura in a nightly cocktail after work. He does not formally exercise but is on his feet most of the day at work. His weight is the same as it was when he was 25 years old. Raymond had prostate cancer five years ago; surgery and radiation treatments seem to have cured his cancer. Laura’s children are now adults. Both completed college, found successful careers, and married. Laura’s daughter has recently given birth to her first child, a son. In the past year, Laura has started to worry about her loved ones’ safety and well-being. She frequently becomes preoccupied with thoughts of injury or illness that could harm Raymond, her daughter or son, and now her infant grandson. Laura is unable to calm these fears or put them out of her mind. She often has trouble falling asleep because she “can’t shut down” her mind, and she wakes up in the middle of the night fearing something has happened to one of her loved ones. She is often fatigued during the day and is notably irritable. Lately, Laura has been calling her husband, daughter, and son several times a day, including when they are at work and cannot take her calls. She implores them to “be safe.” She has asked them not to drive or participate in social activities because they might ha ...

Running head: THE SELF CONCEPT BOX 1
THE SELF CONCEPT BOX 2
The self-concept box
Students Name
Course title
Date
Self-concept is the set of beliefs that one has about one's behavior, ability, and unique characteristics. It answers the question, "Who am I?” This is a mental picture that a person has about oneself. Self-concept can be adjusted when an individual is young and trying to identify oneself. These perceptions become clearer as one matures as one can learn from their experiences and that of others( Elliott, 2013). One can understand what is expected of them and what is important to them.
People contain different sets of values and personalities that differentiate them from other individuals. Self-concept is defined by relations with others such as friends, siblings, spouses, and parents. There are three parts of self-concept: self-image, self-esteem, and ideal self. Self-image refers to the view a person has of oneself. This is a mixture of attributes such as physical appearance, personality, and social roles.Self-esteem is how people value themselves. This can be broken down further as how a person compares oneself with others and how others respond to oneself. When people respond positively to a person’s behavior then they are most likely to develop positive self-esteem. The ideal self is how people would like to be. In most cases what people see of themselves and how they would like to be seen doesn’t match.
In this essay, I describe myself as an intelligent person. This is the box that reflects my personality. Intelligence is the potential that one has to acquire knowledge and skills, thereafter applying them in the day to day life experiences. There are three categories of intelligence (Visser, et al., 2006). Practical intelligence is one, it refers to how one can react to stimuli in the environment by either changing it to suit one's needs or to find a way of adapting to it. This is the ability to survive and to thrive in the real world that is filled with competition and uncertainties. It implies the ability that one has to be outstanding when dealing with day to day tasks and challenges. This is simply a way that one relates to the world around them.
Creative intelligence is how one approaches new information, tasks, or challenges. It tastes a person’s ability to apply acquired knowledge to solve new problems. A person should be able to tackle the same problem differently when it is presented again. A person should be able to come up with a new way that is better and more efficient than the one that was used before. This is the measure of how a person can be able to.

Components of Communication
In this section you will learn how communication in action really works. The components of communication are people, messages, channels, feedback, codes, encoding and decoding, noise, and situation.
Building behaviors
Current Behaviors 360 Feedback
Write down at least three communication skills you think you regularly do well in your daily conversations with others. Next, list three communication skills you need to improve on over the course of this semester. Now ask at least three people from different social groups in your life to answer the same questions about you. For example, you could pick a friend, a sibling, and a parental figure. How do their answers compare to yours? What are the top two communication behaviors you want to focus on improving as a result of this class? Let the people in your life know you are working on these skills; their support will encourage you to practice these skills.
PEOPLE
People are involved in the human communication process in two roles—as both the sources and the receivers of messages. A source initiates a message, and a receiver is the intended target of the message. Individuals do not perform these two roles independently, however; instead, they are the sources and the receivers of messages simultaneously and continually.The people with whom we communicate are diverse. They are of different ages and genders and perhaps from different cultural backgrounds. Each of these characteristics associated with diversity can influence the process of communication as people attempt to negotiate the meaning of messages.
THE MESSAGE
The message is the verbal and nonverbal form of the idea, thought, or feeling that one person (the source) wishes to communicate to another person or a group of people (the receivers). The message is the content of the interaction. The message includes the symbols (words and phrases) you use to communicate your ideas, as well as your facial expressions, bodily movements, gestures, physical contact, and tone of voice, as well as other nonverbal codes. The message may be relatively brief and easy to understand or long and complex. Some experts believe that real communication stems only from messages that are intentional, those that have a purpose. However, we believe that some messages can be unintentional. For example, you may not intend to show your emotions in certain situations, but your facial expressions and tone of voice might tip others off that you are angry or anxious. These unintended messages add potentially important information to the communication interaction.
THE CHANNEL
The channel is the means by which a message moves from the source to the receiver of the message. Think about how you communicate with your family. In some situations you are face-to-face and use your voice to send messages through sound waves. In other situations you might use your voice to talk over the phone, and yet other situations might involve text messages or .

Components of Theory
This design represents the components or layers of nursing theory. My vision of the relationship of the nursing metapardigm is viewed as big overall ideas of which all other components must have application to. Philosophies are far-reaching and involve broad concepts and statements about beliefs that guide nursing practice. Nursing models and nursing theories are developed from nursing philosophies (Alligood, 2014). Nursing models include the metaparadigms and are still fairly complex and abstract. Grand theories actually overlap somewhat with models and are the corner stone for further theory development (Alligood, 2014). Nursing theories become more focused, less abstract, and easier to directly apply to nursing practice and research. Middle range theories are less abstract and more readily applied to nursing practice and research. The least abstract component of nursing theory is the practice-specific theory, which is used to guide specific practice areas or specific populations of patients (Alligood, 2014).

The cleaning staff frequently positions a linen cart so that it blocks access to a fire door in a hospital corridor.
A hospital built in the 1970s does not meet the new fire safety codes.
A blood test indicates an emergency room patient has a serious and highly contagious disease. The blood test results are reported to the attending physician 90 minutes after they are known.

Clinical staff members are not washing their hands between patients
Hand washing is one of the most important procedures for preventing infections. Health care workers hands are mostly contaminated after activities such as cleaning wounds, cleaning patient’s excrement and touching contaminated surfaces in patient’s rooms. Bacteria from these activities can cause infections to other patients being handled by the health worker, to the health workers and even death in postpartum women during child delivery. To prevent these hospital-associated infections improving hygiene in the patient’s rooms and practicing hand washing regularly after every encounter with a patient especially after being exposed to bodily fluids, before and after contact with a patient and their surrounding will go a long way. Hospitals should provide more hand rub dispensers and create awareness to make hand washing a hard-wired habit.
Employees are not knowledgeable in the use of fire extinguishers
Almost all buildings are fitted with fire extinguishers in case of fire incidents but unless the employees know how to use them they are on no use to them. As much as every building has a fire extinguisher very few people are trained or ever used a fire extinguisher. Only a handful of people can operate a fire extinguisher in the event of a fire breakout. Employers should provide training sessions to their employees to make them familiar with the steps and principles of using fire extinguishers, they should also be conversant with the PASS acronym as a way to remember the steps in using a fire extinguisher and know where to find them. Fire engines might take time to arrive at fire incidents and having these skills will help reduce and prevent the spread and damage caused by the fire.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment of Depression Disorder
Depression is a mental disorder that has both social and
health effects to individuals worldwide. Reports from the WHO
suggest that depressive disorders form a significant percentage
of the total number of deaths reported in both developed and
developing countries. Depressive disorders are also a major
cause of disability (U.S. Department of Health, 2017).
Depression is treatable. The commonly used treatments of
depression include psychotherapy and drugs. Studies suggest
that there are various effective strategies available for use to
improve the depression symptoms such as the integration
between specialist and primary health care. The severity of
depression varies from patient to patient. DSM-5 is the
commonly used diagnostic criteria used to differentiate
depressive disorders from sadness (Gore & Widiger, 2013). The
criterion was developed in the United States and has been used
extensively in psychiatric research. The model stipulates the
threshold that the signs and symptoms of depression must meet
to justify a diagnosis. This research analyzes Eliza Doolittle’s
psychosocial assessment and treatment plan.
Intake
Eliza Doolittle is an eighteen years old girl. Her residence at the
6. time of the visit was a school dormitory where she lived with
her friends. Eliza stated the reason for her visit was due to
being sent home from school. The depressive symptoms that
Eliza experienced were anxiety or stress and low self-esteem.
Eliza is the only child in her family. Her father is Burt, and her
mothers name is Joan. She denied being on any medication for
mental health at this time. She also added that she had not
encountered any stressful experiences in her life.
Eliza completed the DSM-5 Self-Rated Level 1 Cross-Cutting
Symptom Measure (CCM-1) for adults, which is a questionnaire
with the various depressive symptoms. This questionnaire
enables the healthcare professional to identify the depressive
symptoms that Eliza might have had in the last two weeks
before her visit. According to the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria,
Eliza must have experienced at least five symptoms of
depression in the same two weeks period. Eliza must have at
least one of the following symptoms to warrant a diagnosis.
These include: loss of pleasure in usual activities, loss of self-
worth or suicidal, fatigue, weight loss, tiredness, inability to
think correctly, loss of energy and loss of appetite.
Biopsychosocial Assessment
Eliza was identified as a Caucasian female who was a first-year
college student studying engineering. Eliza’s parents live in a
town, which is about two hours away from the health center.
Eliza was sent to counseling because she was found with
alcohol in the dormitory although she claimed she was not
intoxicated. However, she said that she was drunk. Eliza said
that she had been experiencing stress in school since things in
college were not easy as they were in high school. She added
that study requirements have been difficult in college. Eliza
stated that making friends had been difficult for her since her
high school friends either went to different colleges or pursued
other things.
7. Eliza admitted that she had used substances such as alcohol, and
marijuana, although she said that she has never overused any of
the substances. The only type of addiction that Eliza has was
online gaming. Besides, she denied having been previously
hospitalized due to mental illness. Eliza has had traumatic
experiences, although she stated that she was teased in high
school. Eliza’s social relationships were questionable because
she felt that her friends were misusing her on many occasions.
However, she had a good relationship with her parents despite
there being some strains between the parents. Her family rarely
goes to church; therefore, she is not strictly spiritually aligned.
Eliza denied having had suicidal or homicidal intentions.
Assessment of Eliza’s symptoms using the DSM-5 diagnostic
criteria showed that Eliza had experienced five depressive
symptoms in the last two weeks prior to her visit to counseling.
The symptoms included little pleasure or interest in doing
normal activities, anxiety, slight sleeping problems, lack of
identity, and little enjoyment of social activities. The CCM-1
results show that Eliza has slight symptoms of depression,
which if not managed, can easily become more severe if the
causes are not well managed. According to the DSM-5
diagnostic criteria, the results suggest that Eliza has mild
depression because she had experienced at least one diagnostic
symptom that is a loss of pleasure in usual activities.
The initial treatment goals for Eliza would be directed towards
improving the depressive symptoms that Eliza has experienced.
The major depressive symptoms in Eliza’s life are the loss of
interest in normal activities as well as anxiety. There is no
standard treatment for mild depression. However, Eliza has
several options available for her treatment. First, the symptoms
of mild treatment can go away without being treated. The
physician can allow Eliza to go and come back after two weeks
to check whether the situation will have improved (Schwitzer &
8. Rubin, 2014). This method is commonly referred to as watchful
waiting. Secondly, the physician can advise Eliza to start doing
exercises. Exercise has been identified as one of the effective
methods of dealing with mild depression (Schwitzer & Rubin,
2014). The physician can decide to involve Eliza in a group
class where they will be doing exercises together. Third, self-
help is a method of treating mild depression where Eliza would
think about her feelings by talking to a psychological therapist
or a friend.
Treatment Planning
APA offers a number of measures that help in the
assessment of patients. The assessment measures should be
administered form the first interview with the patient to help
monitor the progress of the treatment (Weiner & Greene, 2017).
DSM-5 Level 2 of assessing depression are used to measure the
progress that Eliza would be taking during treatment. Eliza
would require CCM-2 to measure her level of anxiety in the
first seven days of treatment (Weiner & Greene, 2017). Eliza
would be required to fill the CCM-2 questionnaire, which
contains eight items whereby she would be needed to rate the
severity of the depression in the last seven days. The physician
then interprets the data and determines the level of depression
of Eliza.
Apart from the assessment provided by APA, Eliza can
use online self-assessment tests to monitor her progress,
especially with the issue of anxiety. Anxiety was the major
problem that Eliza highlighted as a point of concern. She used
to avoid anxious situations to manage her condition (Bot et al.,
2017). Online assessments include questions similar to those of
other assessments tests. The patient is required to give genuine
information to be able to give genuine results. This process is
helpful, especially if the patient has to travel for a long distance
to see the physician.
9. The findings of the assessment should be conveyed to
Eliza in her native language. Diagnostic information should be
provided in a language that Eliza understands best. The
physician should maintain clear communication with Eliza
(Gilligan et al., 2018). Clear and improved communication
reduces the chances of adverse events by managing the anxiety
of the patient. Although there is no standard way of
communicating assessment results to Eliza or her family, the
physician should be keen to avoid chaos. Communication failure
can be disastrous (Gilligan et al., 2018). The physician should
be able to tell the patient the situation is under control.
The objective of the physician is to guide the patient
through the journey to a healthier state. The outcomes of the
treatment are dependent on not only the prescription of the
physician but also on Eliza’s willingness the get well and
thereby follow the instructions. If the patient misses
appointments or drops-out of the psychological therapies, it may
be difficult for the physician to deliver the agreed-upon
outcomes. However, patient follow-up helps keep the patient on
track. Strategies, measures, and outcomes are achievable when
the relationship between the Eliza and the clinician is
maintained.
Referral
Referrals are necessary when the clinician cannot offer
the services needed by Eliza. The clinician can request the help
of other professionals who can assist in the treatment process
(Russomagno & Waldrop, 2019). If the needs of the client are
outside the expertise of the clinician, a referral would be made.
Examples of referrals in mental illnesses include psychological
therapists, psychiatrists, family therapists, and mental health
nurse. The referrals would be necessary for Eliza to help her
understand her feelings. Therapists would allow her to cope
10. with the symptoms of depression.
The choice of referrals depends on the inherent condition
that requires the expertize of other professionals. Eliza would
require a psychological therapist who would enable her to
understand the feelings that are depressing her (Russomagno &
Waldrop, 2019). One can clearly see that Eliza feels that she is
alright and doesn’t need any mental care. However, since the
DSM-5 criteria showed that her experiences meet the criteria, it
is necessary for her to get treatment. For this reason, a
psychological therapist would help her understand the feelings
and situations that make her depressed.
Conclusion
Despite the overwhelming evidence on the prevalence of
depression around the world, there are just a few studies that
provide information on its treatment. Furthermore, treatment of
mild depression is not sufficiently researched, although some
studies propose various methods. However, there is one
common feature in all depressive disorders; that is, the patient
follows up. The therapeutic approach that was highlighted as a
possible treatment plan requires the clinician to constantly
follow-up the progress of Eliza. The study also pointed out the
importance of referrals in the treatment of depression.
